"His kiss was poisonous and it would have killed me if I weren't already dead. " In a kingdom ruled by a dark queen, only one hope remains. Snow White, the beautiful princess who’s heart was as pure as a white rose. People say she is locked up in the highest tower of the castle, trapped, a prisoner inside those walls. Others say she can never save them. Snow White was ignored by the Queen everyday until, on her eighteenth birthday, she stole the title of fairest of them all from her. Outraged, she sends her guards to get her and kill her only to learn that Snow had escaped. Outraged, the Queen dipped an apple in poison to finish Snow White off. A poison so powerful, it could stop anyone's heartbeat at a simple bite. But, the Queen didn't stop there. Out of the apple, she made a Prince. A handsome poisonous prince, who's kiss could kill anybody. A prince, sent to kill Snow White before she rebelled against the Queen for good. And that's how our story starts, where Snow becomes a fighter, the Prince becomes a killer and hope becomes a flame. This is a dark fairytale retelling with action, swordfights, cursing, etc so don't read if you're not old enough too. “My lips are the guns, my smile is the trigger, my kisses are the bullet, label me a killer. “

No one hates Snow White more than her younger half sister, Rosavere. Not since a star broke the world a thousand years ago and cursed humans with Grand Banes--powers never meant to be theirs--has there been a more traitorous tale. Snow murdered their father and was executed for her crime by Queen Estelle. But Rose's world is shattered when an ageless Snow reappears eleven years later and tries to assassinate the Queen. After a mysterious golden bear aids Snow's escape, Rose vows revenge on the ghost that still haunts her family. She hunts Snow across Albemar only to fall into the hands of a far more dangerous creature--Jack, a young man from a race of elves long thought extinct. Claiming the Queen enslaves elven children to create youth elixirs, Jack resolves to trade Rose's life to Snow to save the last of his kind. Both loyalty and vengeance waver when Rose discovers that a mirror forged from the Starfall may have warped Queen Estelle into a cunning monster. She must decide where her true allegiance lies . . . with the mother she's loved all her life, or the enigmatic half sister she barely knows. The closer Rose gets to the mirror, the more she realizes that generations of her family are tangled in its reflection--and the price to free them all will shatter far more than glass. Author's Note: My star-crossed retelling blends the more well-known tale of Snow White, the huntsman, and the poison apple with the lesser known tale of Snow White and her little sister Rose Red, and the enchanted bear. I first pitched this frost-laced story in 2012 , and after years of voyaging on the sea of queries and revisions, I hope you enjoy Rosavere and Snow White's misadventures! *Available in ebook and in print.
